adb not working, not displaying any response

Question

when trying to run adb devices no output is shown at all not even a empty list. The terminal waits as if it is going to load, but then it just creates a new line prompt as if I hadn't given the adb command.

No no devices found is displayed or any indication that the bridge is running, literally nothing is displayed.

When trying to open the uiautomatorview I receive this error E/adb: Unable to detect adb version, adb output:

Solutions I have already tried:

checking system variables
changing the directory to run out of platform-tools directly
checked port 5037 for other processes
replacing the adb.exe
uninstalled and re installed android studios
replacing just the SDK tools and platform tools
uninstalled and reinstalled java

Please can someone help?

@amrs-tech that doesn't work. I've tried killing it and restarting multiple times. — MIld_error, Sep 19 '19 at 09:49

I've run into this problem at least a few times already, every time I just turned off and on my mac again and it started to work again. I don't know why it happens though.

And I know it's not the perfect solution, but it worked, so I just thought I'm gonna share it with the others.

By the way restarting the mac didn't solve the problem, only turning it off and on again.
